The one I’m a going to recommend is a biography. If you want to see what it’s like for a single person to live with antisocial personality disorder. (Psychopath/sociopath is an outdated term.)
Psychopath by Patric Gagne.

Much more classical than the ones you mentioned. Le Parfum by Patrick Suskind. I think the English version goes under Perfume: story of a murderer

I’m not sure if this was intentional, Melissa Broder’s protagonists come off as sociopaths. Definitely in both The Pisces and Milk Fed.

I read Sociopath by Patric Gagne and really enjoyed it despite seeing mixed reviews online. A memoir about a girl navigating her sociopathic tendencies and ASPD.

I feel like Bret Easton Ellis ‘Rules of Attraction’ is from the perspective of multiple socio and psychopaths.

i’d recommend “The Talented Mr. Ripley”, it’s such a chillingly calm sociopath that you almost find yourself rooting for him lol
